Travel and Lodging

Flight

Boston Logan Airport

The closest airport is Boston Logan, 30 miles south of Cape Ann. Driving will take 45 minutes or so, depending on traffic. There are taxis and Uber/Lyft available at the airport, as well as a commuter train line, which runs from North Station in Boston to several nearby towns (including Beverly, Hamilton, and Manchester by the Sea). For those of you who want the full Northshore experience, we recommend renting a car, as there is much to see in the area, but limited public transport options.

Hotel

The closest major chain hotel to Beverly/Hamilton, where the ceremony and reception will take place. Shuttle transportation will be provided to and from the wedding but limited walkability around the hotel so a rental car is recommended. There is a room block under the Brislin/Gordon Wedding.
